Why Peter and MaryJo - Owners chose Englewood

After exploring Florida's Gulf coast for the perfect slice of paradise we kept coming back to the little unknown island called Manasota Key. The perfect mix of peace and quite, nature, and some fun Key West style restaurants just up the road. Anything else you need or want is just off island . What a breath of fresh salt air.

What makes this house unique

Just a wonderful location being on the southern tip of Manasota Key. The Gulf of Mexico and bay are so close you see water the second you walk toward the beach path. Smell the salt air and enjoy the awesome beach, clear water and nature everywhere you look.

They supply all the toys!

The unit we stayed in was nice and clean, no noise from other units and had a nice reserved outside area where we could grill out and sit at a table and have meals. The biggest bonus is the use of kayaks, paddle boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, carts, etc. The owners really know how to create and atmosphere where you feel welcomed. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Great Get Away

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME... there was so many little details that we would never had thought of and it was there. We had a great time and the condo is so cute, had everything you could think of and the location, location, location. was PERFECT. We spoke with the other quest that where staying and everyone had the same thing to say... "We love the place". I had my parents (who are in there late 70's)come stay with us for a few nights while we were here and they enjoyed themselves as well. The only thing that we would like to have a little better was the weather and Peter said that is the one thing that wasn't in the brochure "Perfect weather everyday" lol. It was cold and rainy for 2 day but out side of that it is a great place and we would recommend it to anyone if your going as a couple, with your family or friends. Lots for all ages to do. Thanks again Peter.

No beach or beach view

We had a great time, but were very disappointed to find that the beach was a 5-7 minute walk down the street and around the corner, through a property that was on the beach. The beach equipment was by far the best feature of the condo. The air conditioning wall unit was in one room only. We were given one roll of toilet paper for 4 days, no salt, pepper... We had 5 people in our unit that slept 4 comfortably. We had a great time, but wished that the description was more accurate (space and view), and that we felt more hospitality. Air-conditioning in Florida in June is pretty important. We loved the outdoor showers. If you could please change the phosphate soap to Dr. Bronner's or another soap that won't be harmful to the environment, it would be great. We loved the paddle board and the sea kayak and umbrellas. The unit would be better suited for a family and 2 small kids. Thank you for the tote.

Owner's Response: Hi Kelly, glad you had a great time and enjoyed all the beach equipment and outdoor showers. Sorry you didn't notice the location map provided on our listing before booking to make sure it was a good fit for you. This popular ground level patio suite is two back from the beach and about a 60 second walk to our deeded beach path. I am a bit puzzled wondering which beach you may have walked to that took 7 minutes to get to. Manasota Key is only about 600 feet wide by our house with water on both sides. You were provided a welcome package showing the exact location of our deeded beach path located approximately 60 seconds from the driveway. You were also emailed "important stay information" explaining what to pack and what is provided. This email explains there are no spices or additional paper product supplied beyond the starting roll of paper towels and the two rolls of toilet paper. We are unable to supply a personal choice of shampoo to our guest but we do provide a very nice choice of shampoo within our outdoor showers. This suite is exactly as advertised with pictures showing a two bedroom one bath suite. One queen bedroom that sleeps 2, a bunk room that sleeps 3, and a queen sleeper sofa that sleeps an additional 2 guests. Taking into consideration all the family and friends you entertained during your stay, I believe our expansive three bedroom Penthouse suite would have been more enjoyable for you. Thanks for staying with us. Hope you will give us another try sometime soon. (Note to potential guests. This suite now has new central air conditioning)
Best,
Peter & MaryJo

A family from Atlanta

The apartment was exactly what we paid for. It was such a relief! In addition to a great location, we used and enjoyed all beach tools, towels, bikes and kayaks. I travel with the sons of 13 and 24, and to have these sport activities helped a lot! And, Manasota Key was a place where we wanted to stay and be far away from the city. It was a slow pace village with a few local attractions which we liked it!

Awesome and relaxing!

Great location and amenities (especially the bikes, kayaks and beach gear). Lodging comfort was good but could be improved by providing privacy blinds or curtains on the windows and central air or a better window a/c. We hope to return!

Map

The seclusion of Manasota Key mixed with access to modern conveniences make this a perfect place for just about any vacation.

While here, we like to call special attention to the islands best kept secret. Stump Pass State Park.

Being just steps away from Stump Pass State Park, the opportunities to enjoy nature are endless. Whether a relaxing beach day on miles of uninhabited coastline is your style, or you'd rather paddle the bay and inlets in our kayaks or on our paddle boards, this is the perfect setting. Every day at Stump Pass is an exciting chance to view nature of all kinds at their finest. Be sure to bring your camera!

Manasota Key is also known for the abundance of shells and shark teeth that can be found with little to no effort. After your done combing the beach wash off your bounty in one of our shell cleaning stations. These will help you get the sand and salt off your souvenirs so they're ready to take home.

Sunrises, Sunsets, and Star-gazing are spectacular here. Whether it's an active or restful vacation you're looking for, this suite on the South End of Manasota Key is just perfect!
